5.5x3.5x2”

A few fresh out of the kiln

Great post! How do you flip large pots. Even 2 pieces of foam board and a 26” pot is tough on arms.

I think in pottery anyone can throw some clay together and call it a “bonsai pot,” but to do it well is a different story. I am not saying I am doing it well, but I keep trying to challenge myself to keep myself entertained. I have waited a few years to take on a bag pot. I have been talking...

“Red rock”. I like this one, I need some bits on the right side. I am just going to let it grow this year

#2- it really isn’t interesting, I didn’t repot this year. I probably will take one of the lowest buds and make that the new sacrifice and grow the tree off it. Or keep it small and throw it over a rock in a couple years

I have used the blue glaze before but not on this clay. I like how dark it is. I’ll have to make some more

16x11x3”

A couple more pots

Looks happy and healthy. You can always cut branches but you can’t add branches. I would start by cutting a branch and leaving it long and make it a Jin instead of cutting it all off at once.
